If I'm writing something sort of slow and (forgive) sensual, I might use 'nude'. But if I'm writing something more fast-paced and urgent, I'll use 'naked'. It's that whacking great k sound in the middle.

Reasonably, I think the word you want is 'unusually'. I'm not sure about the virtues of describing one sexual more as reasonable and another as not.

Hmm, I see what you mean, there's some unfortunate baggage there.

I was trying for the antonym of, well, a sense where most people would expect the possibility an erotic reaction. Ah, I left out the expected part. No, actually, I just ballsed up the whole thing trying to be clever.

I didn't even attempt an English exam, but I'm starting to quite like writing in it. I like that word antonym, in which you've used. It's ideal for the engineering workshop environment. Y'know, when you cut two identical shapes, when they're meant to be mirrored. It could also be uses as art speak.

And the word nude, is made erotically inert by describing it as being in the nuddys. And calling undies grundys, somewhat takes sensual out of undies.

The Italian for undies is mutande, and I'll admit it's not very erotic. It's an interesting word, though, in that its Latin root (as in the expression "mutatis mutandis") literally means "garment that ought to be changed frequently". My sister was explaining that to my partner a few years back, and Justine - who was just learning the language at the time - thought that she was giving her personal hygiene advice.

There arnt swear-words in Maori - but there are deadly insults.The most well-known one is "'pokokohua' = (with an essential vowel missing) "cook/ed head.'*Any* combination of food & head will -still- be extremely resented.

They never told us about the grundies aspect of 'mutatis mutandis' when I first heard it at Law School.
